IJAVVE Family Pantry
We are currently accepting:
- 🍎 Non-perishable food donations
- 👕 Gently used school uniforms
- Please donate uniforms before the end of the year! They help students start the new year with confidence.
- 📚 School supplies and materials
These donations help ensure that our students and families have access to the resources they need. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference and helps support members of our IJAVVE family.
If your family is in need of food, uniforms, or school materials, please know that our pantry is open and available. You are not alone. We are here to help.
Donations can be dropped off in the school office. Thank you for helping us care for one another and for making IJAVVE such a supportive and compassionate community. 💚
